Russian folklore/ethnomusicology opportunity

[Mckibben, Margaret]

Feel free to forward the following to any appropriate forums or
individuals--thanks in advance!

Space is still available for volunteers on three Russian folklore and
ethnomusicology expeditions this summer to Siberia, Belarus and the
Rostovskaya oblast Cossacks.  Expeditions are led by Dr. Yelena Minyonok
(folklorist with the Gorky Institute of World Literature -- RAS) and
sponsored by American Friends of Russian Folklore.  

Participants are fully immersed in Russian village life as they assist with
recording, photographing and videotaping folk narratives, songs, dances and
other traditional lore.  No special training in ethnomusicology or folklore
is required.  Working languages of the expeditions are English and Russian.

This is a wonderful opportunity for students and scholars with a interest in
Russian language, village dynamics, folklore and folk music. 

Volunteers cover the costs of their own participation.  For more information see
